| Abstract |
Men who have sex with men (MSM) account for most new HIV infections in the United States. Despite representing a fraction of the population, MSM make up an estimated 65% of new infections. To address this epidemic, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is recommended to supplement condom use. Despite its effectiveness, PrEP uptake among MSM is low. Few studies have employed theoretical approaches to understand PrEP use intention. Incorporating factors like safe sex fatigue, expectation of better sexual experiences, and perceived risk are proposed in this dual motivational path model of PrEP use intention. This model hypothesized that PrEP use intention is influenced by two key pathways: (1) protection motivation pathway, and (2) sexual expectancy pathway. Data were collected using social networking applications from 402 MSM. The model was tested using structural equation modeling. We elaborate the complex decision-making process proposed by this novel theoretical model and discuss its practical implications. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 July 2018.
All research outputs
#21,186,729
of 23,849,058 outputs
Outputs from AIDS and Behavior
#3,266
of 3,566 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#289,256
of 329,459 outputs
Outputs of similar age from AIDS and Behavior
#77
of 88 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,849,058 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,566 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,459 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 88 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
